Some kind of reason for changing...

• I wanted this blog to give me the excuse to update my information and resources, and perhaps make them more attractive.
• My ramshackle website grew and grew as I learned new things, and it became my sandpit for messing about and trying things. I never really thought of it as a publication. However, as in design terms it never graduated beyond the use of a Front Page Template (I found 'content' more interesting) it now looks very old-fashioned, but it would represent an immense amount of work to rebuild it, so I figured I might tease it apart slowly.
• For instance - I used one page as a place to dump interesting links, but I never made it look very interesting! I called it a Things to Do on a Wet Afternoon kind of a page.
• I have reconnected with my scattered family again, so I feel quite pleased that I have tried to put at least a little detail of the family online, although I know I have left lots out. And I recently did a family tree (which you can see in the old blog) which could get added in there.
• I keep intending to compile a book/autobiography, etc - but I suspect the website stole quite a lot of the energy intended for that - and maybe made a hard copy book quite redundant. I still like books however (to read in the bath) and maybe others do, too. Although, having said that, Miles Hochstein seems to think I have made a good start on an audio-visual presentation of a life... If you go to his site you can read other people's lives, and see his own good example of how to go about it...
